All,

aiming at releases with, as before, presumably just one more RC on
each of them, please test!
Tested 4.3.2-rc1 on CentOS 5.10 and Fedora 17.

CentOS 5.10 has a build issue with QEMU:

http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-02/msg00084.html
Is this a regression over 4.3.1?

Using

http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.3.1/xen-4.3.1.tar.gz

  lt LINK libcacard.la
/usr/bin/ld: libcacard/.libs/vcard.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against 
`vcard_delete_applet' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile 
with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


So no, this is not a regression.




In any event, it would be Stefano to take care of this, just like for
4.4.

Don, would a backport of "configure: Disable libtool if -fPIE does not
work with it (bug #1257099)" (027c412ff71ad8bff6e335cc7932857f4ea74391
in qemu-upstream-unstable.git) fix the issue in 4.3 as well?  If so, I
would rather do that than introduce a workaround.


The backport of "configure: Disable libtool if -fPIE does not work with it (bug 
#1257099)" (027c412ff71ad8bff6e335cc7932857f4ea74391 in qemu-upstream-unstable.git)  turns out 
mot to be enough.  You also need to backport "libcacard: require libtool to build it 
(b6fc675b25d32f018870e202eb4b2a6eb509f88b)"

to not get the message:

libtool is missing, please install and rerun configure


I have attached my version of these 2 backports.

Using them, I am able to build xen, and the resulting bits pass some simple 
tests.
